William Palmer Residence

The William and Mary Palmer House is a house in Ann Arbor, Michigan, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1952. The home was designed for William Palmer, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, and his wife Mary. It sits on three lots at the end of a quiet, dirt road cul-de-sac. The location is near the Nichols Arboretum, and less than a mile (1.2 km) from the university. History William Palmer was born in Imlay City, Michigan, and studied economics at the University of Michigan; in 1930 he became a professor at the school. Mary Warton Shuford was born in North Carolina and enrolled in the University of Michigan's School of Music in 1935. She graduated in 1937 and married William Palmer. The couple purchased this property in 1949 and began seeking an architect to build their home. After seeing the Affleck house in Bloomfield Hills, they contacted Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright designed the house in 1950. The house was continuously owned by the Palmer family from 1951 to 2009. It was placed on the market in early August 2008, with restrictions in place. Jeffrey and Kathryn Schox purchased the house in March 2009. Jeffrey Schox, who is a San Francisco patent attorney, spends several weeks a year in Ann Arbor. When he is not in Ann Arbor, the Palmer House will be available for rent as a guest house and as a meeting location. Description The Palmer house is a 2,000 square-foot Usonian home. It is located in a hillside and constructed of red cypress and brick. The house has a triangular geometry, with no right angles in the structure. There is a central entryway with three wings extend off from that: a bedroom wing to on side, a living room and terrace wing to the other, and a smaller carport perpendicularly. The hipped roof is long and dramatic, with a low slope and wide overhangs extending over each wings; it is clad with cedar shingles and copper. A small garden house to the rear contains a collection of Wright-designed furniture. See also List of Frank Lloyd Wright works References Storrer, William Allin (1993).

Willis Avenue Station

The Willis Avenue Station is a steam production plant used in Detroit's district steam heating system. The plant is located at 50 West Willis Street, near Woodward Avenue, in the center of the city's Midtown Detroit neighborhood. Built and owned by the Detroit Edison Company, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. History Detroit Edison was organized in 1903 to build and operate electric plants in Detroit. The Willis Avenue station was the first steam power substation used by Detroit Edison for the production of steam heat. Three other plants serve the central heating district of Detroit. When the plant first went on line in 1904, there were 3,000 feet (910 m) of mains in place, serving only 12 customers. During the summer of that year, an additional 10,000 feet (3,000 m) of mains were constructed, and the infrastructure was increased as the years passed. By the mid-1940s, there were 42 miles (68 km) of underground mains and serving approximately 1,650 customers. During that time, the Willis Avenue Plant was updated and altered numerous times to serve the heating needs of the community, especially between 1916-1927. The station continues to serve the Cass Farm Survey Area. Henry Ford This station in located near the original location of an electric generating sub-station owned and operated by the Edison Illuminating Company. It began operation in 1886. Henry Ford began his career with the Edison Illuminating Company on September 25, 1891 assigned to this substation as a Steam Engineer, working the 6:00pm to 6:00am shift.

Willow Metropark

Willow Metropark is a park in the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system, located on the banks of the Huron River between Lower Huron Metropark to the northwest and Oakwoods Metropark to the southeast. The park consists of a wide variety of trails and recreational areas, including an 18-hole golf course, the 17-acre (69,000 m2) Washago Pond, hike/bike trails, a disc golf course, a children's play area, a pool, and a kayak/canoe launch, in addition to groomed cross country ski trails in the winter months. Bike Trails In total, approximately 4.5 miles of trails run through the park, all of which are part of the Downriver Linked Greenways System. The main route runs primarily along the Huron River, the most direct trail between the entrance to Oakwoods Metropark at the south end of the park and the entrance to Lower Huron Metropark at the opposite end. A secondary bypass route begins slightly north of Willow Road, traversing a combination of wooded areas and meadows for about two miles before intersecting the main trail at Washago Pond. Two other shorter segments cross the center portion of the park, one of which connects the western bypass trail with the main trail, with the other starting at the bypass trail and running northward into the pool area. Canoeing and Kayaking There is one entry point for small crafts on the Huron River, located at the Big Bend picnic area along the main bike route. From here, paddlers can paddle upstream towards Lower Huron Metropark and New Boston or downstream towards Oakwoods Metropark and Flat Rock, though portaging is eventually necessary downstream to get around the Flat Rock Dam.

Wilson Barn

The Wilson Barn (also known as the Ira Wilson Dairy Barn) is a barn located at the northeast corner of Middlebelt and W. Chicago Roads in Livonia, Michigan right by Emerson Middle School. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973. This was the beginning of the Ira Wilson & Sons Dairy Company, a now defunct company (which partnered for a time with Kroger and was ultimately acquired by Melody Farms in 1980). There were several large iconic cow's head sculptures, which were fixtures in the Detroit metropolitan area. History Ira Wilson was born in 1867, and began his career in dairy farming at an early age, working on the farm owned by his family since 1847. He built a barn on this site in 1888; in 1919 the barn burned and he built the present structure on the foundations of the earlier barn. Wilson eventually established a million-dollar dairy, creamery, and trucking business, the Ira Wilson & Sons Dairy, and served for two terms as Wayne County sheriff. Wilson died in 1944, and the lower level of the barn was converted for use as a horse stable in the same year. As of 2011, the Wilson Barn is managed by "The Friends of the Barn," a volunteer group. Description The barn is a post-and-beam structure faced with wood siding, resting on a stone foundation and having a gambrel roof. A silo made of dark brown, glazed tile is attached to the barn. Events The friends of the Wilson Barn host many events at the barn including a farmers market every saturday from the first Saturday in June until October, pumpkinfest, a twice monthly community board game night, an annual chess tournament, and other various events including 2 car shows.

Windmill Island

Windmill Island Gardens is a municipal park located in the city of Holland, Michigan. It is home to the 251-year-old windmill De Zwaan, the only authentic, working Dutch windmill in the United States. History In 1964, the City of Holland purchased the windmill De Zwaan from a retired miller in the town of Vinkel in the province of North Brabant, the Netherlands. The windmill was shipped from the Netherlands to the port of Muskegon, Michigan on the ship Prins Willem van Oranje. It was brought by truck from Muskegon to its present location on Windmill Island. Reconstruction of the mill began in 1964 and the park opened in April 1965. The island, formerly farmed by Henry F. Koop, was chosen because of the favorable wind conditions there. Although originally a peninsula, a manmade canal turned the land into an artificial island. Before the arrival of De Zwaan, it was known as Hyma Island. On April 10, 1965, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands became the first visitor to the park and presided over the grand opening. His ticket and the ten guilder bill he used to purchase it are still on display in the park today. Windmill Island Gardens today The park includes approximately 36 acres (15 ha) of land along the Macatawa River and the swamp leading into Lake Macatawa. Each year Windmill Island Gardens hosts approximately 55,000 tourists. The park is open daily from late April until early October, with the most visitors in early May during the Tulip Time Festival. Over 100,000 tulips are planted on the island each year in beautiful gardens filled with flowers summer through autumn. In addition to the windmill, the park includes replicas of several historic buildings in the Netherlands. In the summer months, visitors may also see the klompen dance, traditionally performed by local high school students during the annual Tulip Time Festival. After Tulip Time season, tourists continue to enjoy the Island's attractions, and the park frequently hosts weddings and events. The Island's celebration pavilion can seat up to 300 people. Wedding ceremonies are typically held outside the park or in the Island's gardens, with receptions and banquets taking place in the pavilion. The Mimi Cave thriller film Holland starring Nicole Kidman, Gael García Bernal, and Matthew Macfadyen, which was released on March 27, 2025, was filmed in Holland, Michigan, the same town in which the film takes place, at Windmill Island Gardens, specifically scenes including the windmill as well as being filmed in Nashville and Clarksville, Tennessee during the spring of 2023. The film The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure was also shot in part on the island and features the De Zwaan windmill prominently. References External links Windmill Island Gardens
Detroit Women's City Club

The Women's City Club is a women's club located at 2110 Park Avenue in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Park Avenue Historic District. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979. History Women's organizations became increasingly influential in the years after the American Civil War as a class of highly educated, middle class women arose in the nation. Their impact was at its peak in the years around World War I, when the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women's suffrage, was ratified. In Detroit, it became apparent at that time that the many women's organizations in the city needed a centralized place to meet. In 1919, a number of local activists founded the "Women's City Club" to "promote a broad acquaintance among women." The club hired architect William B. Stratton (husband of ceramicist and club member Mary Chase Perry Stratton) to design a suitable building; the structure was completed in 1924. Description The exterior of the building is built of brick, in a featureless modern style. The six stories are differentiated into the lower three floors, which are blocky and regular; and the three upper floors, which appear to be set onto the lower floors. The brick color differs between the two sections, as does the appearance of the windows. There is also a horizontal range of bricks between the two sections. The lower floors were designed to be meeting spaces for social events and planning the activities of members. The three upper floors were used as an apartments for women who moved to Detroit for employment and wished to live in a wholesome environment. The interior decor was strongly influenced by the then-current Arts and Crafts movement, with hand-wrought ironwork and Pewabic Pottery tilework. The swimming pool was also decorated with Pewabic tile. Use The City Club offered a number of classes and recreation programs for women, eventually enrolling over 8,000 members. However, membership declined after World War II, and in 1974 the club moved to smaller quarters. The social space was used for various purposes, including a restaurant and bar in later years. The building was bought in 1976 by Feminist Economic Network (FEN) and became Feminist City Club until debates about capitalism and access ended the project. The building was owned by Forbes Management until 2017 (also owners of the Elwood Bar, Gem Theater, and The Fillmore Detroit), and had received an upgrade of its façade. Forbes then sold the building an entity tied to Eric Larson and his development company, Larson Realty Group, who then sold it to an entity tied to Ilitch-owned Olympia Entertainment in 2017 for $5.85 million. Olympia Entertainment then announced the building would be renovated as part of the new Olympia development, the "District Detroit". References

Fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos y designado Sitio Histórico del Estado de Míchigan en 1979.​ Historia Las organizaciones de mujeres se volvieron cada vez más influyentes en los años posteriores a la Guerra de Secesión a medida que surgió en la nación una clase de mujeres de clase media con un alto nivel de educación.​ Su impacto alcanzó su punto máximo en los años de la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando se ratificó la Decimonovena Enmienda a la Constitución, que garantiza el sufragio femenino. En Detroit se hizo evidente que las organizaciones de mujeres necesitaban un lugar para reunirse.​ En 1919, varios activistas locales fundaron el "Women's City Club" para "promover un amplio conocimiento entre las mujeres".​​ El club contrató al arquitecto William B. Stratton (esposo de la ceramista y miembro del club Mary Chase Perry Stratton ) para diseñar un edificio adecuado; la estructura se completó en 1924.​​ Descripción El exterior del edificio está construido con ladrillos, en un estilo moderno sin rasgos distintivos.​ Los seis pisos se diferencian en los tres pisos inferiores, que son en bloque y regulares; y los tres pisos superiores, que parecen estar ubicados en los pisos inferiores.​​ El color del ladrillo difiere entre las dos secciones, al igual que la apariencia de las ventanas. También hay una gama horizontal de ladrillos entre las dos secciones.​ Los pisos inferiores fueron diseñados para ser espacios de encuentro para eventos sociales y planificación de las actividades de los socios.

Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility

Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility (WHV) is a prison for women located in Pittsfield Township, Michigan, operated by the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC). The three-letter designation for this facility is WHV. It is the only prison in Michigan which houses women. General The prison is in Region 3, Washtenaw County, and houses security levels I, II and IV. It has two perimeter fences with electronic detection devices and security cameras, both audio and video. The facility is authorized 364 Correctional Officers, but is rarely at full strength. Only female guards are used in the housing units for fear of sexual assault by male staff members. History The Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility (Previously named Huron Valley Women’s Complex) at 3511 Bemis Road, Ypsilanti 48197, opened its doors as a brand new facility on August 5, 1977, the day the Detroit House of Corrections in Plymouth on Five Mile Road closed for women permanently. Huron Valley Women’s Facility was overcrowded as of day one. Four modular units had to be added to accommodate the overflow. (Mods: T-1, T-2, T-3 and T-4) The Men’s prison had not yet been built when the women’s prison first opened. The men’s prison opened on August 20, 1981. The West Side of Huron Valley Women’s Facility was previously the old men’s prison, while the East side, was the original women’s side. It included thirteen housing units for 1,100 inmates in the general population and housing for specialized programs. The prison shared personnel, prisoner records, maintenance operations and business offices with the adjacent Huron Valley Men's Complex, until that complex was closed in 2009 so that women could be moved in from the Robert Scotts Correctional Facility. At this time the facility name was changed from Huron Valley Women's Complex. Capacity was increased by five hundred in 2010. Press reports in 2018 said the facility had a capacity of 2,400. At that time, the complex housed 2,100 people. The population reached a maximum of 2,257 in 2015. The prison was the center of lawsuit concerning forced overtime by the guards. Two years later the state paid $750,000 to settle the matter. Press reports in 2019 stated that the facility suffered from overcrowding and leaking roofs. Storage areas had been converted to housing units in violation of building codes. Food rescue Women in the prison's horticulture program operate a half-acre organic garden inside the prison which contributes 40% of the produce donated to the Washtenaw County Food Gatheres food rescue program.
